I visited Equinox because I was interested in joining, but had such a terrible experience with the membership staff that I walked out and never looked back. Nice gym, prohibitive cost....for a place that costs so much, the fact that they won't even let you try it first without handing them hundreds of dollars on the spot is ridiculous. Unless you have serious money to spend on working out, I'd suggest shopping around for a place without the sleazy marketing staff.
Pros: swanky
Cons: sleazy membership policies are an immediate turn-off.
